Spectating Friends in Quick Play and Arcade

 

In Overwatch 2, you can spectate friends in Quick Play and Arcade modes directly from your friends list. Here's how:

 

  1. Wait for Your Friend to Load into a Match: Ensure your friend is already in a game.
  2. Open Your Friends List: From the main menu, access your friends list.
  3. Select the Friend: Scroll to the friend you want to spectate and select their name.
  4. Click 'Spectate': Choose the 'Spectate' option and wait to be loaded into the match.

 

Once you're in, you can watch every player on your friend's team. Note that you will need to repeat this process for each new match, as spectators do not automatically carry over between games.

 

 

Spectating in Custom Games

 

Another way to spectate in Overwatch 2 is through Custom Games. Here’s how to do it:

 

  1. Create or Join a Custom Game Lobby: Enter an existing lobby or start your own.
  2. Join the Spectators Team: Select the Spectators team at the bottom of the screen. If you’re not the host, request the host to move you.
  3. Start the Match: Begin the game and wait for it to load.
  4. Switch Between Players: You can now switch freely between all players in the game.

 

Note that only two spectators are allowed per lobby. However, players can change roles between spectator and team positions between matches.
